| Abstract: |
A scrubbing device provides a first layer of foam material with a second layer of woven synthetic in contact therewith. Preferably the first layer is formed of a close-cell material that is in the shape of a rectangular pad. The second layer is preferably a polyester filament woven with a non-raveling weave. The pad may be encased by the second layer in a partially compressed state. Alternatively, the foam material and the woven synthetic layer can be adhered to one another.

We claim:
1. A scrubbing device adapted for use in manually dislodging unwanted scales from a target surface, comprising:
- (a) a first layer of closed-cell foam material operative to form a base panel that may be gripped by a hand of a human user; and
- (b) a second layer disposed in contact with said first layer and mechanically retained thereagainst, said second layer formed as a flexible sheet of woven strands of polyester material defining a smooth yet open mesh having mesh openings less than 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) to provide a mildly abrasive working surface whereby the user may grip said base panel and manipulate said second layer so that movement of the working surface against the target surface abrades said scales therefrom, said second layer woven with a non-raveling weave.
